Albuquerque police: Credit card thieves quickly made fake ID

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police say they’re hoping to nab two women who stole a woman’s credit card and then promptly made false identification that they used to make $350 of purchases at two stores.

According to police, the women stole a purse from a dance studio on Wednesday and then within 30 minutes made a false New Mexico driver’s license.

Surveillance video showed the women using the stolen credit card to make purchases at drug store and a grocery store.

Police said the operation is new to them and that it’s surprising the women were able to produce a fake driver’s license so quickly.

Police think the women could be responsible for a number of auto break-ins in northeast Albuquerque.
